At Flood Protection Solutions, we know how important is is to support the next generation.

We recently had Dhruv Gupta, a student from Nottingham High School come and work with us for the day. Here’s what Dhruv had to say:

Recently I participated in work experience at Flood Protection Solutions in order to attain an insight into the daily endeavours of an engineering business. Upon arrival I began an online course which evaluated the 4 pillars of sales, as well as several other areas vital to business. Following a meeting with a pump manufacturer, I undertook some research into the pricing of various pumps; a strategy which enabled the business to charge the most competitive prices. Prior to midday we discussed the challenges of establishing a successful business and potential routes into the engineering industry, including University studies.

After a lunch break accompanied by the tireless Dachshund office dog, I learnt about the ongoing flood action project; at the present stage, surveys are being used to collect data regarding different flood groups. Subsequently, I engaged in an online module which detailed the design and operation of the revolutionary Water Gate flood barrier, which utilises the weight of the water to create a firm seal.

Finally, I enjoyed assisting with the filming of assorted pumps for the flood and water pumps website.

We’re proud to be able to offer our support to the next generation, and would like to thank all of our customers for supporting us.

Sole UK distributors of the Water Gate Barrier

The Water-Gate barrier from Megasecur is used in 36 countries around the world. As the sole UK distributor of this flood barrier, we distribute the product across the entire country. The Water-Gate barrier is highly innovative and easily deployed, offering one of the fastest deployment of water
barriers available. Access to emergency vehicles and other barriers is not compromised as the barrier can be driven over.

The Water-Gate can be shaped around corners and on uneven surfaces, offering flexible protection, and can be joined to create any length. The barrier can be supplied in crates to make deployment of long lengths extremely rapid.
It is cost effective, comparing particularly well with sandbags, especially as it is reusable.

The material used is recyclable and the Water-Gate is reusable making it extremely environmentally friendly.
The barrier is resistant to a long list of chemicals and has been independently tested. It is widely used in pollution control.
